Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this clinical study was to compare the clinical performance of CAD/CAM endochrone and fibre-reinforced composite restorations in root canal treated teeth with excessive loss.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Restoration of endodontically treated teeth is one of the significant challenges encountered in dentistry. The restoration of these teeth is often confronted with a series of complex factors. Following endodontic treatment, the coronal structure of the tooth may have been significantly weakened or lost. This condition makes it difficult to properly place restorative materials and restore the tooth's durability. Additionally, the weakness or loss of coronal structure after root canal treatment makes it difficult for these teeth to perform their normal functions and withstand chewing forces. Consequently, the restoration of endodontically treated teeth is a process that requires careful planning by dentists, selection of appropriate materials, and implementation of suitable techniques.

Endocrown restorations and fiber-reinforced composites (e.g., EverX Flow) are commonly used options in the restoration of such teeth. Endocrown restorations help support the tooth by covering a significant portion of the coronal structure.

GC Cerasmart 270 (GC Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) is a resin nanoceramic structure containing approximately 71% (by weight) of nanoceramic particles bonded to a resin matrix. Restorations designed digitally can be milled from a milling device for use in the production of restorations. With its enhanced strength and wear resistance, smooth restorations can be produced, limiting both aesthetic appearance and wear of opposing teeth.

Fiber-reinforced composites contain glass fibers to increase durability, thereby reducing the fragility of teeth after root canal treatment and aiding in preventing cracks. EverX Flow is a flowable composite reinforced with short fibers indicated for dentin replacement (along with a traditional composite as the enamel layer) in direct restorations and core build-ups. Due to its short fibers, EverX Flow efficiently strengthens restorations and demonstrates high fracture resistance.

In each patient, one or more endodontically treated teeth will be randomly assigned to be restored using either GC Cerasmart 270 blocks or EverX Flow (combined with GC Achord). GC Cem One Resin Cement will be used for adhesive procedures in the endocrown group, while GC G-Premio Bond will be used in the fiber composite group. Restoration procedures will be performed by a single operator. Restorations will be evaluated by two calibrated evaluators according to modified USPHS criteria at baseline and at 6 and 12 months. Data will be statistically analyzed using chi-square Cochrane and McNemar tests (p \<0.05).

Cerasmart 270 (GC Coop, Tokyo, Japonya)

Composition: Bis-MEPP, UDMA, dimethacrylate, silica (20 nm), barium glass (300 nm) 71 wt% Tooth measurement and digital design are done using a camera. The design is sent to a milling device for restoration fabrication. Tooth surface is roughened with 37% orthophosphoric acid for 10 seconds, air dried, and Adhesive Primer is applied. Inner surface of the endocrown restoration is sandblasted with aluminum oxide powder, cleaned with alcohol, and coated with Adhesive Primer. CEM ONE self-adhesive resin cement is applied to the tooth surface, and the restoration is cemented.Final polymerization process lasts 10 seconds per surface to ensure bonding.Rough edges of the restoration are polished with diamond burs and discs. Excess material is removed, and occlusion and tooth areas are checked.Any cement residues in the mouth are carefully cleaned.

EverX Flow (GC Coop, Tokyo, Japonya)

Resin: semi-IPN matrix composed of Bis-GMA, TEGDMA and PMMA. Fillers: E-glass fiber, barium borosilicate (57 vol%) After cavity preparation, 37% phosphoric acid gel will be applied to the enamel for 30 seconds, washed with water and dried slightly. G-Premio Bond adhesive agent (GC, Tokyo, Japan) is applied to the enamel and dentin surfaces with a disposable applicator for 20 seconds and waited for 10 seconds according to the manufacturer's recommendations. Then, air is squeezed with light air pressure for 5 seconds and polymerised with LED light at 1200 mW/cm2 for 10 seconds. The restoration walls are formed with composite G-ænial™ A'CHORD (GC, Tokyo, Japan). EverX Flow composite (GC, Tokyo, Japan) is applied to the cavities in 4 mm layers and polymerised with light for 10 seconds. G-ænial™ A'CHORD (GC, Tokyo, Japan) composite is applied on the top layer. It is shaped with finishing cutters and polished with polishing rubbers.
